These socks were inspired by Dutch style fishtail braids (test knit in all 3 sizes). Three different styles of braided cables are incorporated for variety and interest, with a stockinette toe for comfort. Vissenstaart Socks are knit cuff-down and feature a cabled heel flap with slipped stitches for reinforcement and a gusset.
